SOLIDARITY AND THE 1984-85 MINERS’ STRIKE EXHIBITION AT TUC LIBRARY
EXHIBITION
In March 1984 over 150,000 British coal miners went on strike to protest against plans for widespread closures in the industry. The strike, ultimately unsuccessful, lasted a year and was one of the most significant industrial disputes in British history. Alongside the industrial struggle emerged a large and diverse social movement to help sustain the miners and their communities.
